As you may be aware, we have not posted any new articles since December; however, a lot of things have been happening at Help Liberia Foundation Community School since the last article. And we are pleased to share a few of the happenings with you at this point.

1. We closed on December 20, 2013, for the Christmas and New Year’s holiday, and re-opened on January 6, giving students, staff and faculty the opportunity to interact for the first time in the New Year. In other words, January 6 was the day on which classes resumed after the holiday.

2. We administered the school’s First Semester Exam at the end of January. The end of the exams marked the end of the first semester.

5. A series of Parent-Teacher Association (P-T.A) meetings have been held since December. In fact, at one of the meetings, the parents appointed a new P-T.A leadership. The chairman is Mr. Roosevelt Karyeah, the Vice Chairman is Mr. John Zoegar, and the Secretary is Philemena Aggrey, a teacher at our school.
